Tails from the road...

Please don't take it personal he was on a determined mission.

I would have made him a cocktail at least for the road

I HATED driving through VA. when I ventured up north several times. Too long a stretch, too many speed traps, and their no radar law.

I have a 7 yo shark, that works amazingly for the carpets, an electrolux for the tile and wood and a dyson canister for the stairs. Dyson pet tool is great for the stairs but crappy on the rest of the carpets. I know it sounds insane to have 3 but the shark is my favorite for the husky fur.

I have a shark too. Had it a long time. I used to have a spitz with lots of white fur. My cockapoo doesn’t shed.

Secret is to change the air filter or vacuum it out once in a while. I just wish it had a bigger tank. I have to empty the canister after every room so I don't have to stop midway through a room


We have black and gold carpet on the stairs and upstairs landing, after I'm done vacuuming I ask Alan to come and look at our newly found black carpets (that only lasts until one of the big dogs goes up the stairs)

Your pups look amazing.

We have three Dyson's. One is a purple pet vacuum every strong vacuum to pull up the hair. We also invested in a Bissell Green Machine, helps clean the giant size paw prints up they tend to leave.

The Berners shed like no other pet we have ever had. Move a broom across the hardwoods and it is amazing the amount of black, brown and white fur you pick up. When we brush them outside, there is a fur pile the size of the dog we are brushing. Usually the arm gives out before the amount of undercoat to pull out does.
When I wash them, I use the Metro Vac to blow dry them. I look like a Yeti when I am done with two of them, wonder what three will be like. The birds appreciate the free nest material.

I used to hate I81 through VA as well. Traffic always sucked ass. Used to go down I79 in West Virginia instead.

A few years ago, Virginia raised the speed limit on I81 to 70. Traffic seemed to flow a lot better.
